As such, the Koreans moved away from Android and towards Tizen to bring forth slightly more affordable wearables, namely the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo, and recently started slashing the first-gen’s price in various markets, including India and US.

Now it’s Canada’s turn to join the promotion party, though USA’s northern neighbor is getting the royal treatment as far as discounts go. Forget India’s $120 price cut, or the $200 or so trims stateside. Bell’s Galaxy Gear is available for $250 off its list price: $100.

Of course, the deal is bound to expire sooner or later. Likely, sooner. But right now, you can even choose between three differently coated models – black, ivory white or orange. No promo codes needed, no mail-in rebates, no contracts required, no strings attached, just a limited-time bargain.

Once Bell clears remaining inventory, it will be interesting to see if the retailer will continue to offer the Galaxy Gear, for $350 or less, or simply replace it in its product lineup with the Gear 2/Gear 2 Neo duo, due out on April 11.

Powered by a single-core 800 MHz ARM processor, the Galaxy Gear is fairly zippy for a “companion” device (read accessory), but as an unwanted consequence, it suffers in the battery life department, lasting roughly 24 hours in “typical usage”. Bottom line, it’s not, nor it won’t ever be a hit, yet at $100 it’s almost impossible to turn down.
